An example of the protective net's operation - stopping a UAV Product-51 "Lancet" on a section of the M-03 Izium - Sloviansk highway.
This is a civilian highway, well behind the front lines.

Which explains why there is a Russian drone in it I guess
Holy shit! I'd say that netting is a godsend!
Nicely done.
So uh... Who gets to take that down?
Shoot it up a bit... Make that a whole lot, first
Better to return to sender - I wonder how theyre activated...
Neighborhood kids will probably just yeet a bunch of rocks at it before the city crew gets around to taking it down.
Is that steel cables or something else?
Fishing nets.
huh makes sense that those would be perfect large scale items that could work for this
Weapon of mass destruction-> kite in a tree
I assume these have an explosive payload. If itβs remote controlled, why not also have a remote detonator?
Might detonate on impact.
I figure thatβs the default. But thatβs what I would expect for guided munitions not a drone. A drone implies some sort of remote control capability. And if youβve already built that in, why not go one step further and just add a trigger.
Say you have 10,000 drones and it costs ~$100 for that trigger. These numbers are made up but I think the additional costs would add up quickly. All just speculation of course.
More proof that Russia is either bankrupt, inept or both.
Yep and war is costly.
